So, you’ve decided it’s time your athletes were recognized for their hard-won achievements. A school record board is a great way to do it. Record boards can be displayed both indoors and outdoors, but outdoor record boards require a little more thought to make sure they are done right. Outlined below are the largest factors to keep in mind when considering an outdoor record board for your team.

Congratulations! If you are reading this, chances are you had some school records broken and you want to show them off. Anytime someone reaches out to us for record updates, we know that the sooner you can update the board, the better. Typically, we recommend updating your school record board at the end of each season. This keeps your cost down in the event that the same athlete breaks her own record multiple times in a season. When you are ready to update your record board, follow the directions below.

Distance running is not for the faint at heart. Each year, athletes dedicate loads of time and energy mentally and physically equipping their bodies in training for cross country season. The most dedicated of runners train year-round, sometimes with dreams of trumping regional or state records, and sometimes with the goal to simply beat their own personal best.

Have you ever jumped into a pool with your smartphone still in your pocket? Accidentally tumble-dried a wool sweater? Tossed a grumpy cat out in the rain? Some things are built to stand up to the elements. Others, not so much.
